Granite profile of the Old Man of the Mountain is shown before the collapse, and after Old Man s Loss Felt in New Hampshire FRANCONIA, N.H. Crowds of visitors were drawn to Franconia Notch on Sunday to mourn the loss of New Hampshire s well-known symbol the Old Man of the Mountain granite profile. The 700-ton natural formation was just a pile of rocks after breaking loose from its 1,200-foot-high mountainside perch. It was unclear when the outcropping fell because clouds had obscured the area Thursday and Friday; a state park trail crew discovered the collapse Saturday morning. The famous mountain s history dates millions of years. Over time, nature carved out a 40-foot-tall profile resembling an old man s face, and it eventually became New Hampshire s most recognizable symbol.

Siccar Point The diagram shows a unique rock formation exposed at Siccar Point, on the east coast of Scotland. The bedrock at Siccar Point shows an unconformity, which is a surface where two separate sets of rock layers that formed at different times come into contact. The bottom rock layers are graywacke, which is a form of sandstone, formed approximately 425 million years ago when tectonic plates collided. This plate movement caused the layers of graywacke to tilt into their present vertical orientation and eventually uplifted them above sea level to form mountains. By about 345 million years ago, these mountains had been eroded to form a plain that submerged beneath the sea. More sediment was deposited on top of the vertical graywacke layers, eventually forming the nearly horizontal layers called the Old Red Sandstone. 82 On the diagram in your answer booklet, draw a dark, heavy line tracing the unconformity separating the graywacke from the Old Red Sandstone. [1] 83 During which geologic time period did the graywacke bedrock form? [1] 84 Describe the structural evidence shown by the bedrock at Siccar Point that led geologists to conclude that the graywacke was moved by converging tectonic plates. [1] 85 Identify two of the processes that produced the unconformity at Siccar Point. P.S./E. Sci.

The point where the two scores intersect is the student s final examination score. For example, a student receiving a Total Performance Test Score of 10 and Total Written Test Score of 71 would receive a final examination score of 90.

Part A Score Part B 1 Score PHYSICAL SETTING/EARTH SCIENCE continued Directions to the Teacher Follow the procedures below for scoring student answer papers for the Physical Setting/Earth Science examination. Additional information about scoring is provided in the publication Information Booklet for Scoring Regents Examinations in the Sciences. Use only red ink or red pencil in rating Regents papers. Do not correct the student s work by making insertions or changes of any kind. On the detachable answer sheet for Part A and Part B 1, indicate by means of a check mark each incorrect or omitted answer. In the box provided at the end of each part, record the number of questions the student answered correctly for that part. At least two science teachers must participate in the scoring of each student s responses to the Part B 2 and Part C open-ended questions. Each of these teachers should be responsible for scoring a selected number of the open-ended questions on each answer paper. No one teacher is to score all the open-ended questions on a student s answer paper. Students responses must be scored strictly according to the Scoring Key and Rating Guide. For open-ended questions, credit may be allowed for responses other than those given in the rating guide if the response is a scientifically accurate answer to the question and demonstrates adequate knowledge as indicated by the examples in the rating guide. In the student s answer booklet, record the number of credits earned for each answer in the box printed to the right of the answer lines or spaces for that question. Fractional credit is not allowed. Only whole-number credit may be given to a response. Units need not be given when the wording of the questions allows such omissions. Raters should enter the scores earned for Part A, Part B 1, Part B 2, and Part C on the appropriate lines in the box printed on the answer booklet and then should add these four scores and enter the total in the box labeled Total Written Test Score. The student s score for the Earth Science Performance Test should be entered in the space provided. Then, the student s raw scores on the performance test and written test should be converted to a scaled score by using the conversion chart that will be posted on the Department s web site http://www.emsc.nysed.gov/osa/ on Thursday, August 13, 2009. The student s scaled score should be entered in the labeled box on the student s answer booklet. The scaled score is the student s final examination score. All student answer papers that receive a scaled score of 60 through 64 must be scored a second time. For the second scoring, a different committee of teachers may score the student s paper or the original committee may score the paper, except that no teacher may score the same open-ended questions that he/she scored in the first rating of the paper. The school principal is responsible for assuring that the student s final examination score is based on a fair, accurate, and reliable scoring of the student s answer paper. Because scaled scores corresponding to raw scores in the conversion chart may change from one examination to another, it is crucial that for each administration, the conversion chart provided for that administration be used to determine the student s final score.

Do not allow credit if the letters are reversed, such as Tm. 78 [1] Allow 1 credit. Acceptable responses include, but are not limited to: C is between isobars that are closely spaced. A is located in an area with a small pressure gradient. The isobars are closer together at C. [10] PHYSICAL SETTING/EARTH SCIENCE continued 79 [1] Allow 1 credit if the centers of all seven Xs are plotted within the circles shown below and are connected with a line that passes through the circles. The line must extend below the 2900-foot line, and above the 2800-foot line.

Example of a 1-credit response: 83 [1] Allow 1 credit for Silurian Period. 84 [1] Allow 1 credit. Acceptable responses include, but are not limited to: The graywacke layers are tilted. The layers are now vertical. The unconformity indicates that the graywacke layers were uplifted and eroded. 85 [1] Allow 1 credit for two acceptable responses. Acceptable responses include, but are not limited to: uplift weathering erosion tilting submergence burial deposition [12] Regents Examination in Physical Setting/Earth Science August 2009 Chart for Converting Total Test Raw Scores to Final Examination Scores (Scaled Scores) The Chart for Determining the Final Examination Score for the August 2009 Regents Examination in Physical Setting/Earth Science will be posted on the Department s web site http://www.emsc.nysed.gov/osa/ on Thursday, August 13, 2009. Conversion charts provided for previous administrations of the Regents Examination in Physical Setting/Earth Science must NOT be used to determine students final scores for this administration. Submitting Online Teacher Evaluations of the Test to the Department Suggestions and feedback from teachers provide an important contribution to the test development process. The Department provides an online evaluation form for State assessments. It contains spaces for teachers to respond to several specific questions and to make suggestions. Instructions for completing the evaluation form are as follows: 1. Go to www.emsc.nysed.gov/osa/exameval. 2. Select the test title. 3. Complete the required demographic fields. 4. Complete each evaluation question and provide comments in the space provided. 5. Click the SUBMIT button at the bottom of the page to submit the completed form.
